10 years ago if you had a camera and $15 bucks to register a domain, you could get into the independent news media game (maybe not successfully, lol).
Vice, Buzzfeed, Huffington Post, and even Mic inspired me to make content and made me believe I could make decent content all by myself. It pushed me to get better an use the tech available to make something presentable.
Social Media sites like Facebook pressured smaller outlets to do more video which increased expenses. It didn’t bring more clicks, it didn’t bring more ad revenue, and now these sites are going under.
What does all of this mean for the little guys (and gals)?
